Chapter 148: "Operation Purifying the Heart" (End)

On the morning of the 29th day of the 10th lunar month of the eighth year of Xiande, the records of the interrogation of Fan Wucheng's cronies and henchmen were personally handed over by Zhang Xiaofei and Liang Ziyue to Wang Kunjun and four other committee members.

Before Fan Wucheng began to explain his huge "Plan for the Development of Commerce in the Five Prefectures and the Western Regions," he said that he would give a lecture for the last two or three days, but in fact, starting from the afternoon of the previous day, the four committee members had to deal with other affairs from time to time and often asked questions to the speakers about the content of the explanation, and by noon on 29 July, they had all finished speaking. Although this explanation is far from being as long as originally said, it adds up to nearly a day, and Fan Wucheng's face is already slightly tired. However, although his body was tired, Fan Wucheng's heart was very excited -- although the brothers of the committee members did not express their positions immediately, from the words of the four of them, they could still feel that they were very interested in this set of development plans, and after going south to Kaifeng and completing the "Jianye No. 1 Action Jihua", they were still very hopeful to start implementing it.

Just when Fan Wucheng packed up the thick development planning materials and was about to say goodbye to his brothers, Wang Kunjun raised his hand to signal him not to be busy yet, and then said: "The fourteenth brother doesn't have to rush to pack up his things. The committee is going to hold an enlarged meeting of the committee this afternoon, so you might as well have lunch in the Jiedu Mansion and save yourself the trouble of running from both ends. ”

Fan Wucheng stopped what he was doing when he heard this, on the one hand, he was a little puzzled that the brothers didn't mention the meeting yesterday, and he didn't inform himself that the meeting was about to be held at this time. On the other hand, he asked, "An enlarged meeting of the committee this afternoon?" Now there are several brothers who are qualified to participate in the conference are out of town, and they can't come back at all. This person is dissatisfied, can the enlarged meeting be held? ”

Wang Kunjun waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "It's okay." Although there are a few brothers who should attend the meeting are not in Beiping, the heads of various departments of the team and most of the backbone members of each department are there. In terms of the number of people alone, it has exceeded the minimum requirements for holding an expanded meeting, fully complies with the relevant regulations, and the resolutions taken by it are also of sufficient force. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Kunjun paused slightly, and added: "Since this meeting was temporarily decided by several of our committee members this morning, the main reason is to discuss with the brothers some details of the relevant response to Kaifeng in the event of a major change, so I have not notified you until now." Speaking of which, you were the first of all the brothers in attendance to know the news. ”

Now that the committee has decided to hold an enlarged meeting, Fan Wucheng no longer has any objections. While sorting out the materials and putting them in the document bag he carried with him, he sat back in the chair, drank tea and chatted with a few brothers in a down-to-earth manner, and waited for everyone to go to the meeting together after lunch--of course, as a sympathetic master, he still asked the fifth brother Wang Kunjun to call a personal guard for him while chatting with several brothers, and instructed him to explain the situation to his few cronies and servants who had been waiting in the gatehouse of Jiedu Mansion, and let them go back to their mansion first, and come to pick him up after dinner.

On the afternoon of October 29 of the eighth lunar calendar of the eighth year of Xiande, as the participating brothers rushed to the conference room of Jiedu Mansion one after another, the first enlarged meeting of the committee held in the history of the crossing team on the issue of a certain traverser making a mistake officially began at 14 o'clock in the afternoon.

The meeting was presided over by Zhang Weixin as usual, and when he announced with a solemn expression the first agenda item of the meeting -- to discuss the committee's resolution on "Fan Wucheng, head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, violated the rules and regulations of the team, and took the handling opinions on soliciting members of the crossing team in departments not under his own supervision, entraping and cultivating local cronies and henchmen, obtaining confidential information and intelligence that are not in his own department, and undermining the unity, stability, and security of the crossing team," and put a vote, the originally slightly noisy meeting place suddenly fell silent. Except for the other three committee members, as well as the party Fan Wucheng, all the other brothers attending the meeting were confused and confused by the topic announced by Zhang Weixin, and they all looked at Zhang Weixin and the other three committee members in a daze, hoping to see the reason from the expressions of these four people.

It's just that, to everyone's disappointment, although the expressions on the faces of the four committee members are serious, they are also very calm, and they can't see any clues or hidden feelings at all. Just when the brothers were about to ask questions to the four committee members to solve the confusion in their hearts, after the initial stunned and stunned, the person concerned, Fan Wucheng, finally woke up and realized that the kind of behavior he had done that did not conform to the rules and regulations of the team had finally attracted the attention of the brothers, and he was about to criticize and deal with himself for these wrong behaviors.

When he first realized this, Fan Wucheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, especially when he thought of the ugly matter that might involve his cooperation with "Feiyantang" because of this matter, which made him feel even more panicked and uneasy. But this apprehension, panic and uneasiness did not last long, but after a few seconds, Fan Wucheng regained his composure and his mind became clear again. He knew that he couldn't be weak-hearted now, he absolutely had to grit his teeth and refuse to admit it, and he definitely couldn't reveal the slightest bit of information related to the above accusations. Fan Wucheng thought that he was still very cautious when he did these things that violated the rules and regulations before, and he should not have any tricks in the hands of others or be probed by the committee. As a result, Zhang Weixin's voice fell, and Fan Wucheng had already taken the case, resolutely denying a series of accusations against him, and on the other hand, he said that he had been framed, and kept saying that he wanted the committee and the brothers present to make decisions for themselves and return their innocence.

Seeing Fan Wucheng there, he could be called tearful to defend himself and scold the bastard who framed himself for not dying. Except for the four committee members, most of the brothers present expressed sympathy for the fourteenth brother (fourteenth brother), and some of them echoed Fan Wucheng to denounce the false accuser who did not know who it was.

Fan Wucheng's performance had long been expected by several members of the committee, so seeing that he was so excited, and many other brothers were also helping him speak, Zhang Weixin did not immediately stop or criticize, but calmly watched Fan Wucheng's performance. waited until Fan Wucheng was tired of scolding there, and the brothers who helped him speak were also a little dry and began to drink water, and the conference room gradually quieted down, then he cleared his throat and said: "Old Fourteen, don't be excited, the other brothers are also less restless, and listen to my brother." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Weixin distributed the report of the internal affairs department of the Ministry of Intelligence on the investigation of Fan Wucheng and his cronies and servants during this period, as well as the transcripts of the previous interrogations of his cronies and henchmen, to all the brothers present, and at the same time briefly introduced the causes and consequences of the incident and the committee's opinions on the handling of the matter.

Looking at the thick stack of detailed and mutually corroborating evidence in his hand, and listening to Zhang Weixin's introduction without any personal feelings and judgments, those brothers who were still worried about this matter and were still unhappy for Fan Wucheng fell silent. One by one, they sat back in their seats, and their faces slowly became solemn.

Fan Wucheng is not blind, seeing the changes in the faces of the brothers, the gaze that looks at him has changed from sympathy and support to suspicion and disgust, and he knows that something is not good. In Fan Wucheng's view, the committee pointed the finger at him this time, and brought this matter to the table so solemnly, instead of criticizing, educating, warning and reprimanding itself in private, obviously having enough evidence, and it was unbearable for its behavior of undermining the team's rules and regulations and threatening the unity and stability of the team. They want to openly discuss and deal with their mistakes through this time, on the one hand, to punish their own mistakes as necessary, and on the other hand, they also want to take this opportunity to warn their other brothers not to make similar mistakes again. To put it bluntly, the committee is going to "kill" its own "chicken" to show the "monkey brothers" in the team.

Realizing that the committee wanted to "make an example" and "set an example" by handling itself, and especially realizing that since the committee dared to handle this matter with such fanfare, it was obvious that it had already mastered sufficient evidence, and Fan Wucheng suddenly lost his confidence. He no longer had the impassioned and aggrieved nature of his talents, but instead his face was full of panic, and he looked around at the brothers present with begging eyes, hoping that everyone could help him for the sake of the brothers and plead for himself.

As the so-called "the state has national laws, and the family has family rules", as a team composed of strangers from different regions, with different identities, and most of them have never met before crossing, in order to bring everyone together, let everyone think in one place, and work hard in one place, in addition to forming centripetal force and cohesion with brotherhood, national righteousness, great ideals, and visible and invisible interests, and mobilizing the enthusiasm and initiative of everyone, it is natural to have a set of reasonable and effective rules and regulations to restrain and standardize. Otherwise, each traverser will do things according to their own likes and dislikes, and their own ideas, and the whole team will become a plate of scattered sand, and eventually disappear - this truth is well known to the brothers here.

In addition, in the eyes of the brothers, since the team has formulated the corresponding rules and regulations at the beginning of the crossing, and with the development of the team, they have been improved step by step. Then, as a member of this team, we must conscientiously comprehend the main idea, and consciously and voluntarily abide by and implement it in our daily work and life. This is also the fact that in addition to the small groups and small factions that were inevitably formed at the beginning of the crossing, there were no new small groups and small factions in the crossing team; Many brothers in the Weishenme crossing team have the behavior of encircling their subordinates and cultivating cronies for various reasons, but their scope is very tacitly controlled within their own work area, and they never involve other ministries or other prefectures and towns.

After figuring out this section and realizing the harmfulness of the breaking of the rules and regulations, even if there are still a few people in the congregation who feel that the committee is so formal and serious about handling Fan Wucheng's matter this time, it is a bit of a fuss, and they feel that with the available evidence, Fan Wucheng's actions have not caused any serious losses to the crossing team, and they are not so fanfare to criticize and punish them. But firstly, there are a few brothers who have this kind of thought, and secondly, seeing that the elder brothers of the committee are resolute, no one wants to touch the moldy heads of the brothers at this time, so that they lose face in front of the brothers.

Therefore, in the face of Fan Wucheng's hopeful intercession eyes, the brothers in the congregation continued to look down at the information, pretending not to develop this burning gaze; Or twist his head to the side, not giving Fan Wucheng's eyes a chance to "discharge" at all. As a result, after a short discussion process in which almost no one spoke, the enlarged meeting of the committee entered the stage of voting on the bill. The result of the vote was not in doubt, and the bill was passed by an overwhelming margin.

On the afternoon of October 29 of the lunar calendar of the eighth year of Xiande, after the proposal of the committee and the discussion of the enlarged meeting of the committee, the "Handling Opinions on Fan Wucheng, the head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, violated the rules and regulations of the team, and arbitrarily solicited members of the crossing team, encircled and cultivated local cronies and henchmen, obtained confidential information and intelligence that he had no right to know, and undermined the unity, stability and security of the crossing team".

According to the opinion, Fan Wucheng was dismissed from all duties within the crossing team and the Beiping Army from now on, and went home to think about it behind closed doors; The Fan Mansion cronies and servants involved in this matter, Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu, and Fan Xiaoliu, had forty canes and served five years in a hard labor camp; Liu Erxing, Gao Gui, Duan Ming, Xu Wang, and Xu Huan, who were identified as Fan Wucheng's henchmen, were sentenced to 20 to 60 canes and sentenced to 3 to 10 years in a hard labor camp, depending on the importance of the confidential information they leaked to Fan Wucheng and their attitude toward admitting guilt. As for other persons who have been confessed and prosecuted in the course of interrogation, after the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence has completed their arrest and interrogation, they will be punished according to the seriousness of the mistakes they have committed and the severity of their crimes.

The resolution of the enlarged meeting of the committee came into force in the evening of the same day, and the relevant documents of the resolution will also be sent to all those who did not attend the enlarged meeting of the committee as soon as possible through a special messenger.
